You are being given a false argument. If the application which connects to MySQL is running on that windows box then there already is a MySQL client on that machine, albeit a specialized one. Putting a plain old client console on that same box does not hurt anything, not even security unless you leave a text file full of passwords laying around. Having that console on the same host as the application is invaluable not only for data-dumping jobs like this one, but for all kinds of trouble shooting in general. - michael dykman On Tue, Jan 5, 2010 at 8:42 AM, ishaq gbola wrote: > Am running windows on my local host and Redhat linux on the remote server= , I have no mysql client on local host.
